Dunnies, David Horvath and Dalek, USA (2004).

The Dunny, by Kid Robot, was one of the first “do-it-yourself ” toys. The American company sent the basic, unpainted blank rabbit toy to various artists around the world, who then interpreted the shape in wildly different ways. The result: artists began to see these toys as canvases for their imagination.
